Us In Flux Conversations: Phoebe Wagner & Punya Mishra


In the uncertain and roiling spring and summer of 2020, we published Us in Flux, a series of stories and events about community, collaboration, and collective imagination in the face of transformative change.

Two years later, in another moment of anxiety and possibility, we’re presenting a second cycle of Us in Flux stories and events, inviting authors and experts to provide glimpses of better futures shaped by new social arrangements, communities, and forms of governance, with a focus on bottom-up creativity and problem-solving at the local level.

From June to September 2022, we'll publish a new, original piece of flash fiction followed by a virtual chat with the author and their special guests.

In this episode, we chat with author Phoebe Wagner and Punya Mishra, associate dean of scholarship and innovation at the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University. Here, they discuss “University, Speaking,” Phoebe’s story about reimagining universities as radically open to their communities, and better attuned to addressing local challenges.
